[Q] can't figure out. - Droid X General

I can't seem to figure out and i've search around the forums.
Problem im having is i have clockwork downloaded but everytime i try to reboot it automatically loads clockwork recovery and i have to hit the reboot option. Is there any fix that? Thz in advance.

Do you have the x bootstrap recovery installed ? Click the first button & it will say success, do this before every reboot, then reboot. Try reflashing clockwork to make sure its the latest version. Hope this helps.

Having a big problem with rom manager and bootstrapper

I have both of these on Apex 1.0.2. My problem is I can not get ROM Manager to boot into Recovery by its self when doing backup and restore and such. Also the reboot into recovery button under ROM Manager doesn't do it either. I've tried doing it with and without hitting the bootstrap recovery button first. Sometimes it boots with the green droid and the progress bar that starts and then a warning triangle comes up and the phone reboots as normal.

Which ROM manager? FRM? other ROM managers aren't made to work with the D2 and similar devices because the devices have to be bootstrapped. If you want to get into recovery it's best to stick with koush's bootstrap only as the others will mess up the way it's setup and reboot into recovery that way. It hasn't done me wrong yet and I've had my phone since September and I've flashed a little bit of everything and I've never used a ROM manger (D2 is my first android phone so no need) they may be fine for downloading but installing is always best done with koush's bootstrap.
ROM Manager from the market does not work with the Droid 2. You need to use Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
I have koush's bootstrapper and koush's rom manager. Not even bootstrapper works to boot recovery. When click on boot recovery nothing happens

have you pressed bootstrap recovery and received the "success" toast (notification)?
Yeah,everytime I press it it says it.
And when im on rom manager and I press reboot into recovery it will boot show me a progress bar with the little android guy on it, it will go like a quarter of the way. Show me a triangle with an exclamation point inside the boot again normally

Like I posted before I've never used a ROM manager other than Fission ROM manager so I would try and uninstall the ROM manager and re-bootstrap because I think having two recoveries on there will mess each other up especially because the ROM manager has not been made for the D2 which has a locked bootloader. You might even have to sbf to get rid of the install of the ROM manger recovery I'm not sure. Take it in steps though don't try to do it all at once.
Thanks ill try it

Great! Bootstrap is all you need for install at least.

Reboots/starts in recovery every time??

I have Fusion rom installed, used to have Liberty. Either way... every time I restart or turn it on, it starts in recovery. I select" reboot system now" and then it'll start fine. Any ideas?

Did you install Koush Bootstrapper? That will fix your issue.

I love seeing this question asked =)
this is a blessing man. It may be slightly annoying sometimea, but the first time you have a problem with your phone and it starts into recovery, you will be thankful for it. This is just a safeguard that the devs are building into their roms since so many of us mess with our phones so much and constantly need to recover backups. I think from liberty you can disable this feature. I personally love it and have been very thankful for it

How do I get the D2 recovery for my DX. Sorry for the noob type?
So no stock recovery either?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
you need to get an sbf file of 2.2.1 and then use rsd lite to flash it to your phone... then you can use clockwork to get back.
I understand that. I'm trying to wipe data to clear up the constant sync error except I have no way of wiping data. Make sense?

Recovery Access in GB
Besides using a reboot into rocovery app, you can also shut down the phone, then pull the battery, put the battery back in and the normal Vol Down + Power will get you into Clockwork Recovery. Seems like GB is in some kind of stand by mode even when you power it down.

ClockworkMod Recovery Problem in GB leak.

I am assuming this may be something simple to most but I can't figure it out.
In the rooted version of GB I just flat out can't get into CWR.
I have tried all different button combos at startup as well as the Reboot into recovery option in Rom Manager and just can't get there.
Suggestions?
Use the droid 2 bootstrap,i was having problems with the rom manager one too, the droid 2 bootstrap works fine

I wholeheartedly agree he is a great dev! And for that I have already donated a considerable amount of cash to his beer fund.

I'm sorry...I just had to comment because this made me laugh. I'm assuming you meant 'pay' but just the mere thought of having to party for an app made me chuckle. I'll party for apps all day lol.
See my signature for free apps.
Problem solved. Thanks everyone
I found out that if you turn off debugging on the phone the DX Bootstrap will work fine.
Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.

[Q] Unable to boot into Koush Bootstrap

Hey guys I need some help here. I just rooted my droid x and installed the koush recovery as stated in the noobs guide to the droid x. i was able to boot into recovery and clear my data and cache and I installed Gingerale 3.0.
Well I cant get wifi tethering to work so I need to install a WUG's patch. Problem is, I cant seem to boot into koush's recovery anymore. I installed it again on the new rom and tapped bootstrap recovery and it said success. Then I tapped reboot recovery and my phone rebooted. The M came up then all I get is black screen with the backlight on. I have waited 15 minutes and same thing. I have to pull the battery and reboot. I can not for the life of me figure out why I cannot boot into clockwork.
I could use some help. Thanks.

Try downloading ROM Manager from the Market. Once you open it up click Flash Recovery and select Droid X. Now try to boot into recovery from ROM Manager.
Thanks for the reply. I have done as you said and still no dice. The phone reboots, the M comes up then screen goes black with the backlight on and thats it. Any other ideas?

I dont have a problem sbfing but I would hate to do that if its just going to happen again. A quick search on this forums brings up tons of results of people having the same issue and i have not been able to find a solution for it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried stock recovery? And you have d2 bootatrapper?
